Need paging support for blob containers

description

When blob containers contain many thousands of items, the interface locks up and tries to load the entire list. This needs to be more of a virtual list that you can page through, etc. Maybe even search through. Imagine if the container had millions of
items..

Agree. We have this problem currently on our large production system. Actually, the problem is not even with blobs, but with blob containers themselves (we have one blob container per user). We cannot even start Azure Storage Explorer on that account as
the first thing it does is to get the blob container list...
Why doesn't it get, say, top 1000 containers, and then allows access any other container by its name (or to look at queues and tables!). Large number of blobs in a container could be handled in a similar way.
